This was on match day 9 of the ongoing Nigerian Professional Football League.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Daniel’s 92nd minute strike was all it took to separate the two sides.
This is the second consecutive home defeat for Heartland FC, coming after a 0-3 loss against Enugu Rangers and the fourth consecutive league defeat.
